Thanks Mr. Chevallier. I thought of this (didn't know about the alias option though) but 1. I wonder how this can be done on a pan database level? Cant see myself doing this stock by stock...B-0 & 2. I wonder how this database will be updated? The original is a EOD Metastock Database converted into an AB database using the Metastock Plug-in.
